Well That Explains That!

The 45 year old Microsoft strategery executive has decided that now that pot is legal in the Evergreen State, Mr. Shively is setting up a Seattle-based enterprise destined to become in Mr. Shively's words, "a leader in both recreational and medical cannabis."

Shively has compared his vision to that of another Seattle-based retail giant, Starbucks . I suppose we'll soon see an "Acapulco Gold's" or "Panama Red's" on every street corner in short order. I can hardly wait. Shively figures that with a good brand name he could capture 40 percent of the worldwide market, estimated at at $142 billion according to a 2005 UN report.

I just wonder if Mr. Shively got into the pot business as a result of his experience with Microsoft. It would certainly explain how Microsoft could call what they've done to my computer the last several times an "update".

Public Opinion
